This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.

Automatic collection of information

Information collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding Website usage. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in such a way that would identify any user of the system.

Collection of personal information

ARDEX Construction Inc., collects information from you through:

• Account registration and administration of your account;

• Your communications and dealings with us;
• Your participation in ARDEX Construction Inc., sweepstakes, contests or research studies;
• Uploads or posts to the Services;
• Requests for customer support or technical assistance.

You can visit the Website without telling us who you are or revealing any information by which someone could identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. If, however, you wish to use some of the Website’s features, you will be asked to provide certain Personal Information (for example, your name and e-mail address). We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us when you fill any online forms on the Website. When required, this information may include the following:

• Personal details such as name, company, address, etc.

Storing personal information

We will retain and use your Personal Information for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
